Superb!. Was at Monroe's for dinner last night, first time. Came in because we had a coupon, have not been to this location since it was the Northfield's. What an improvement! Our waitress was friendly, the restaurant was cozy and inviting and the food was out of this world! The best chicken french I have had anywhere, and the dessert selection was to die for. Can't wait to come back!
Had a company luncheon on New Years Eve day. I ordered the mussels and they were the best I have ever had! Great service and atmosphere.
Impressive weekend breakfast. Breakfast for three on the third Sunday morning serving breakfast was outstanding. The menu was not huge but covered the basics; we had pancakes, veggie frittata and sausage frittata. Much better dining experience than the typical diner or family restaurant. Food was very good -- particularly the potatoes and fresh fruit -- and it was nice to have condiments (jam, salsa, cream) served in bowls/pitchers (vs. plastic packages or plastic squeeze bottles). Kids were welcome and staff was gracious in handling a young diner's request to add chocolate chips to the pancakes. Reasonable prices, good portion sizes and complimentary coffee service made it a good value.
Monroe's is one of the best spots in Rochester. My husband and I have been there 4 to 5 times in the past year and always have great service and wonderful food. The haddock french, Monroe's burger, verdita, and penne are some of our favorite. We continue to come back for the hot bread and great food! Give it a try. We have no idea where these bad reviews are from it's one of our favorite places!
One of my favorite Rochester restaurants! This place has had a complete menu makeover and the new food is fantastic. The presentation is gorgeous and very impressive. Great date night place; the decor is beautiful. Highly recommend the aranchini and scallops...my date had the pork belly which was great too. 2 thumbs way up!!
Delicious. My husband and I both loved our food and our waitress was amazing. The best service we have had in a long time. Only compliant, the restaurant was freezing so I just wanted to finish my dinner and get out.
Give it a try. We have had dinner three times in the last two months. Varied menu, good selections,very well priced,nice size portions. I think the current owners finally have it right.The service was also excellent.
This restaurant was AMAZING, probably the best I have been to in Rochester. The improvements noted in another review are definitely evident. The decor was beautiful, especially the outside patio area. The service was top notch. Our food was absolutely incredible. My girlfriend and I are huge food critics and this food blew us away. We got cupcakes to take home for dessert and they were spectacular. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you have been in the past and weren't pleased, I urge you to give it another chance.
I have been to Monroe's several times and have found each meal to be fantastic! The haddock French,filet mignon, NY strip, lobster Mac and cheese, and salmon are all great!! Atmosphere is wonderful, we can't wait to dine on the patio. I always ask if the coconut cake is available and have them take a piece out so it comes more to room temp cuz it's to die for and I understand it must be refrigerated because of the ingredients. Worth going back again and again!
Food was great. Atmosphere was great. Service a little slow( wedding party in larger room). But overall really good.
If you asked what restaurant is my favorite in Rochester.. I'd excitedly tell you, Monroe's! I love date nights here. It's beautiful inside and outside. The atmosphere and staff are always pleasant. I love the fact that every night has different specials and desserts. During the winter, you can eat outside in a little heated igloo!!! I still have so many more plates to try and can't wait for my next visit.
This was our first time eating at Monroe’s, our daughter picked your restaurant for her birthday dinner and we all couldn’t be more pleased with everything. The server was pleasant and professional, our food came in a timely manner and was delicious!
Look at the size of the lobster in the Mac and Cheese, all the portions were like this.
We will return soon to enjoy the atmosphere and food, we will definitely recommend Monroe’s to our friends and family.
Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
I attended a baby shower at Monroes, the food and service was outstanding. We were in the older part of the restaurant with old school historic Erie Canal charm. I have been here many times and they never fail to please. It's one of my favorites.
Portions were big the risotto was slightly undercooked but everything was flavorful. Scallops were great. Drinks were magnificent. I would recommend and will definitely come back.
We wanted to go someplace special for my birthday and love the atmosphere at Monroe's. We ate on the patio, it was a beautiful night. Our waitress was very good. The brussel sprout appetizer was wonderful! The short rib special was so delicious, very tasty and moist. My chicken french was just ok, it lacked much flavor and kind of watery. Overall it was very pleasant.
Largest portions of food I have seen in years... extremely delicious ❕️❗️❕️❗️. Service outstanding ...so on point...Atmosphere...Classy...Will be back❗️❕️❗️❕️
This was the first time at Monroes, so we made a reservation almost 2 weeks in advance. When we arrived they tried seating us at a hightop next to where the kitchen was, thankfully we were able to move. Service was slow but our waitress was very nice. We ordered the calamari, which the waitress recommended, it was not very good at all. Luckily the entrees were both delicious! We got the chicken french and chicken parm, they were huge portions and absolutely incredible. Overall good experience!
We were guests to a private anniversary party. I didn't know this place is the old Spring House. I am 67 years old, and his place has had a restaurant at least that long. It has been modernized and has fun looking nooks so people feel private although the space is huge. We visited on a warm fall night and the outside spaces where very inviting. Our buffet food was nothing remarkable, but on a special occasion I would be tempted to spend $$$ on their enticing menu. Definitely a popular place with young professionals.
Food is terrific and abundant. Our waitress and the front end staff were great and attentive. The place was a little loud for our liking as we were celebrating our anniversary. We were originally seated very near the bar which was really loud. Fortunately our waitress worked with the hostess to reseat us in a quieter corner.
We always love the food at Monroe's but last night their customer service really cemented this as our favorite restaurant. We had a small hiccup with my meal, and they were so attentive. They offered to remake the dish, took it off our bill without us asking, AND offered us a free dessert for the trouble. We were blown away by how responsive they were- I can't remember the last time we felt so well treated by a restaurant. Go here soon!
